  Hi Ajay very informative article this is. Kudos!!. A quick question for you: .locals init ([0] int32 a,[0] int32 b) Does this statement decide the size of variable allocated on stack OR // Load Integer value 10 into memory 08. IL_0001: ldc.i4.s 10 this opcode decide the size of memory allocation to store this variable value?

  I thought that the CIL is an assembly language for a virtual machine (like the Java bytecode of the Java Virtual Machine). Is it? The CIL virtual machine is the Common Language Runtime (CLR), correct? If the CIL is an assembly language then that is why the instructions are called opcodes. Assembler languages (each one varies based on the machine instructions) are never easy, right?

    CIL is not an assembly language, it is the byte code of .NET CLR which enables language inter-operability across all .NET supported languages.

  The article describes both the MSIL and the CIL. Is the MSIL the same thing as the Common Intermediate Language (CIL)? Is the CIL in this article the same as ECMA standard 335?

    Technically, it is CIL but some programmers referred to as MSIL. But it is IL programming.

    I have also gone through your past articles all are very informative about security and CIL. Can you please share any tool to dig into cil or compilation of .net code?
